curved substrate 405 comprises at least one color-resisting area. The at least one color-resisting area is arranged in a form of array. The secondcurved substrate 401 comprises at least one pixel area. The at least one pixel area is arranged in a form of array. A location of the color-resisting area on the firstcurved substrate 405 corresponds to a location of the pixel area on the secondcurved substrate 401. The curvedcolor filter substrate 203 has a first curvature radius at the color-resisting area, and the curved thin filmtransistor array substrate 201 has a second curvature radius at the pixel area. The second curvature radius is larger than the first curvature radius. Specifically, the second curvature radius is equal to a sum of the first curvature radius and a predetermined value, wherein the predetermined value is a distance between the color-resisting area and the pixel area. - In the first
curved substrate 405, the curvature radiuses of different color-resisting areas can be different or the same. Similarly, in the secondcurved substrate 401, the curvature radiuses of different pixel areas can be different or the same. - In this embodiment, the pixel array layer further comprises at least one
shielding electrode 305. The shieldingelectrode 305 is positioned at at least one side of a pixel electrode. As shown inFIG. 3 , the shieldingelectrode 305 can encircle the pixel electrode. - Specifically, the shielding

The shieldingelectrode 305 is employed for protecting the liquid crystal molecules in the corresponding pixel unit from the electric interference of the adjacent pixel unit. In the other word, the shieldingelectrode 305 is employed for preventing an electric interference generated by one of two adjacent pixel units to the other. - The shielding
electrode 305 and the pixel electrode can be respectively positioned at different layers in a first direction. The first direction is a direction from a curved surface where the pixel area is positioned toward a centre of the curved surface along a radius of a pixel area. For instance, the shieldingelectrode 305 is above or under the pixel electrode in the first direction. - In this embodiment, the pixel array layer comprises at least one pixel unit. The pixel unit is positioned on the pixel area, and the pixel unit comprises the pixel electrode. The pixel electrode is an electrode set up of being a curved surface.

That is to say, themain electrode 402 is positioned at an edge of the pixel area to reduce the border area of different domains in the pixel electrode. Accordingly, the dark fringes appearing in the aforesaid border areas due to the liquid crystal tilt disorientation can be diminished to promote the display quality. - The color-resisting area corresponds to the
second area 410. That is, the color-resisting area has a first projection on the secondcurved substrate 401. The first projection corresponds to thesecond area 411 of the pixel area. Thefirst area 410 does not coincide with the first projection. - In the aforesaid technical solution, the pixel electrode merely comprises one domain. Therefore, the appearance of the dark fringes can be effectively diminished. Besides, the aforesaid technical solution can allow the formation default of the
main electrode 402 to be hidden in the edge of the image formed by the color-resistingunit 406. In the other word, the shadow of themain electrode 402 does not appear in the image formed by the color-resistingunit 406. Therefore, the transmittance of the pixel unit can be raised.
